Could you be our new Councillor?
The official Notice of Vacancy has been published and this starts a series of events, which result in the selection of a new Councillor.
Published: 14 February 2025
If ten electors request an election, then there will be an election.
If at that point only one person puts their name forward, then they will be elected to the Council, without the need for a ballot. If multiple people put themselves forward, then there will be a ballot.
If there isn’t an election then the position can be filled by co-option.
Co-option is where the Council can select a new Councillor (from people who wish to be considered). If nobody wishes to be considered, then the vacancy remains unfilled.
If anybody wants to chat about what it is like, being on the Council, then please either contact a Councillor or the Clerk. (Andi, the Clerk, is a former Town (and District) Councillor and has clerked at numerous Parish Councils.)
